DRIVE BY POSTING

Last week at this time, it was Armageddon outside my house with rain and wind. Today, the sun is shining and the temperature’s soring to the mid-70’s today so this will be a real quickie post as  I’m going out to play, I may even break out the shorts, but before I head out a [...]

I like the fact that David Wright is stepping up his leadership role with the Mets. In fact one of the best addition by subtraction moves the club made this winter was saying buh-bye to Carlos Delgado, who I felt was a very intimidating presences in the Mets Clubhouse and too many times Wright had [...]

 21 days until pitchers and catchers
It looks like Fernando Tatis is retuning for a third season with the Mets. Please hold your applause until the end, thank you. If you look at the offensive numbers on Tatis’ Baseball-Reference page you might be inclined to say this is a good deal for the Mets. I’ll [...]

shout out to The Ropolitans for this pic
Sorry for no posts this morning but it’s been a busy day. So busy that I forget all about the David Wright sit down with the Sports Bloviator. I caught the tail end of the sit down as I traveled back from Brooklyn and I guess you could [...]
WOULD YOU LIKE ANYTHING ELSE WITH THAT POUND OF FLESH ?
By Steve Keane at 12 January, 2010, 10:14 am
Sorry, I’m just standing here wondering what all the hubbub is over Mark McGwire’ admission on his steroid use last night. The best part of the evening was watching the sanctimonious Tom Verducci and Ken Rosenthal not accepting McGwire’s mea culpa. I love how Verducci, Rosenthal and Jon Heyman are now all over McGwire and [...]

I’m running out the door to spread some Christmas cheer but before I do, a moment please:
What does your Dickey do? Mine throws a knuckleball
Hello? Where have you been hearing that the Mets should get David DeJesus and Gil Meche? Hello? Is this thing on?
Fork please! Carlos Delgado is as done as a Christmas goose.

Â
So the Skill Sets have sent out invoices to their loyal season ticket holders and some of these customers it seemed got bigger decreases in the invoice than others.

Some Mets news in no specific order:
Because you can never have enough pitchers who suck, the Mets have obtained on waivers, RHP Jake Egbert from the Chicago White Sox. Here is snippet of Egbert’ body of work this season courtesy of Mack’s Mets:
Egbert pitched better at Triple A Charlotte, where he allowed 132 hits and [...]
TIM REDDING HAS ANOTHER STRONG OUTING METS OFFER HIM A 10 YEAR EXTENSION
By Steve Keane at 19 September, 2009, 3:33 pm
Tim Redding had another strong start today this time against the juggernaut known as the Washington Nationals. Redding went seven innings giving up two runs just one of them earned to bring his record to 3-6
Two of the three runs were knocked in by Daniel Murphy who if anything has shown an intangible of mental [...]
NO ONE RETURNS TO WORK WITHOUT A NOTE FROM THEIR DOCTOR
By Steve Keane at 10 September, 2009, 8:35 am
Why can’t we get some straight answers around here? Does Jose Reyes need surgery or not? If he does and according to the doctors would need two months to recuperate and be ready for 2010, then what are the Mets and Reyes waiting for? I understand Reyes feels his manhood is being questioned but what [...]
